Who makes F18 Masts?

[jedkins]

Would anyone know a spar manufacturer that makes F18 masts?. (eg , Hobie Tiger, Nacra etc)

I realise I can buy a Tiger or Nacra mast from Hobie or Nacra but that is not exactly what I want.

Would anyone know the name of the actual spa maker.? I have heard that Hobie USA get their masts from a spar maker in California but I have been unable to locate a name or address. Thanks for any help

Hi.
http://www.marstrom.com/ produce HiQ carbon masts for boats comparable to the F18. Perhaps they have thoughts on the F18 too? No loss asking!

Try Composite Spars & tubes in Kurnell, Australia, they may have something to suit.Regards from Jeff.

Hi Jedkins,
For formulas 18, the Australian Capricorn rig has triggered some research in France. As a result, the Hobie Tiger designer, who has currently a new hull design, as an evolution of the Tiger, investigated rig issue and made aspecial mast section which seems to be the best trade off between lateral and longitudinal stifness. I know that this new mast section is currently used by other F 18 builder like Boulogne catamaran.

Here is is fax number, but he might no answer you or send your name to the mast builder, which is AluCarbon I guess.
